Bear with me, so last night the wife gets home and wanted to go out to eat. Cool, off to Lone Star we go. I ate more than I should have and we needed to stop for gas and make a Wal-mart run on the way home. While we are driving back towards the house and local Murphys for gas, my stomach decided it didnt like me. I didnt eat lunch so this was not uncommon. Stop to get gas and get a little relief while I am pumping.
Cross the street to Wal-mart and my wife wants to browse. Now my stomach is hating me and telling me all about it. Great, I hate going to the bathrooom at Wal-mart but this cant wait. By the time I decide to take care of business I am in full blown alert mode doing my best to get to the back of the store without losing my clench for fear of really causing a scene. I make it to the bathroom and while I am concentrating on the business at hand I am also trying to figure out what to do with my gun. Its not a pocket gun so I have to find a place to put a full size 45 while I do the deed. No tanks on the toilets, just the toilet paper holder mounted to the side of the stall. Ok, got a plan. Trying to unholster and do the dance at the same time I lay my pistol on the toilet paper holder with the muzzle pointed towards the back wall, rip the seat liner out of the box and fumble with the stupid tabs you have to tear out knowing full well I am about to lose it. Get the liner on the seat and started to get my pants down and the dumb auto toilet flushed taking my seat cover with it. Mind you I am in a narrow stall and doing my best to hurry and not knock my gun from it perch. Get one more seat cover in place and got plopped down just as the toilet flushed again but I saved this seat cover just in time.
Now the question, what do you guys do with your gun when you have to go to a public restroom? I cant leave it in holster, there really isnt a place to put it, hanging it by the trigger guard is not really an option. I dont carry a bag, any ideas? My wife thought this was hilarious, but I didnt see the humor. Perhaps if I had a little more time to contemplate the options I could have done something better, like get home.
